What should I do if I grind or clench my teeth?

Many people grind or clench their teeth without even realizing it. If you suffer from unexplained jaw pain or headaches, you may be grinding your teeth. Persistent grinding or clenching can weaken your teeth. If the dentist determines that you are grinding or clenching your teeth, our office can make you a custom night guard which will relieve pressure and pain associated with grinding, as well as protect the strength of your teeth for the future.
